Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is merino wool itchy for children?
DILLING uses fine merino wool, which is known for its exceptional softness and is generally non-itchy, even for sensitive skin. It is much finer and softer than traditional wool.
How often should I wash this T-shirt?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable, so it doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Airing out the garment can often suffice. Wash when visibly soiled or if odor becomes noticeable.
Can this T-shirt be worn in summer?
Yes, merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation. It will help keep your child cool and comfortable by wicking away moisture during warmer months.
What is the difference between this and a regular cotton T-shirt?
Merino wool offers superior breathability, moisture-wicking, and thermoregulation compared to cotton. It stays warm even when wet and is naturally odor-resistant, while cotton can feel cold and damp when wet and holds odors more readily.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, but it must be on a delicate or wool cycle with cold water and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat and harsh cycles.
What size should I choose for my child?
This T-shirt is sized for children aged 7-8 years, corresponding to UK size 7-8. It's recommended to check the DILLING size chart for specific measurements to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
T-shirt loses shape after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle, low-temperature wash cycle. Lay flat to dry, avoiding any wringing or stretching.
Skin irritation despite merino wool
While rare, ensure the garment is washed before first wear. Check care labels to confirm the exact fiber content if irritation persists. Some individuals may have sensitivities to even fine wool.
Odor persists after washing
Ensure adequate detergent is used and the wash cycle is sufficient. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant; persistent odor may indicate incomplete cleaning or bacterial buildup from inadequate drying.
